“Bill Schuette’s silence while his supporters push factually- and morally-bankrupt conspiracy theories is beyond disgusting,” said Lonnie Scott, executive director of Progress Michigan. “We need our elected officials to stand up for the survivors of mass shootings like Parkland and not be silent while trying to reap the relationships of people who are pushing these crackpot ideas. Bill Schuette needs to do two things: Immediately denounce these tactics and publicly rebuke the people who are pushing them.”
